Jetsu Inulin Powder Organic Chicory Root (FOS) - Soluble Inulin Fiber Prebiotic Intestinal Support, Enhances Calcium Absorption, Stimulates Friendly Bacteria, Promotes Prebiotic Growth, 8oz

As a Nutritionist and an expert in Nutritional Science, I am deeply aware that, as Hippocrates said: "Good health starts in the gut." When it comes to my gut, I know what's important to keep my body in peak health condition. After all, about 80% of the immune system originates in the gut. So at the top of my list of health priorities is taking the best possible care of the 100 trillion friendly gut bacteria that also live in the body I am currently incarnated in. Knowing that, I never think of this body as my body, but as "our body," mindful that I am never alone. That said, for me taking good care of my 100 trillion microscopic friends is a must, for when they are healthy and happy, they in turn reciprocate by aiding many crucial body processes, as well as producing all the B vitamins I need, plus numerous other healthy compounds that help to also keep me healthy and happy. And on top of that, they are my private, personal super army to kill and destroy all the uninvited pathogenic invaders who may find a way to get into my system.Unfortunately, most people out there don't take good care of their microscopic friends the way I do, and their microbiomes are literal cesspools of trillions of dangerous, pathogenic, putrefying, unfriendly bacteria that contribute to numerous ill-health conditions, including a long list of autoimmune, degenerative diseases, which in turn make them feel miserable and accelerate their aging process. That said, I certainly would not want to kiss anyone who doesn't have a healthy microbiome, or have an intimate relationship with anyone like that, as I can only appreciate another person who is as clean and pure as I am. So the filthy and impure need no apply and no apologies for that!A good way to describe myself would be as: 100% natural, certified organic/non-GMO, no preservatives, artificial flavors or sweeteners, as well as pesticides/herbicides/chemical fertilizers-free. No sugar added. Just the way Mother Nature intended it.As a result of my taking utmost care of my inner legion of little, microscopic friends I have a bullet proof gut, am 100% free of parasites, mold, fungus, flukes and other kinds of dangerous microorganisms. They simply have no chance with me, as I have a ZERO TOLERANCE dietary regimen when it comes to all kinds of parasites, and declared all-out war on them. My daily diet is designed to constantly get rid of such unwanted parasitic invaders, which is the very reason why I am also 100% sugar/gluten-free. I mention gluten because it causes holes in the lining of the gut, which leads to leaky gut syndrome. And that's the very reason why I always enjoy maximum health and at 55 I feel like I am still in my twenties - not to mention the fact that that I also look many, many years younger, as I have ZERO wrinkles on my neck and face and the skin around the rest of the body I am in, looks and feels 100% silky, like a baby. I must add that I have not seen an M.D. now for the past 25 years. Needless to say, that I eat a daily dietary regimen that is 100% certified organic/non-GMO and take over 100 different nutritional compounds (supplements) also on a daily basis. All combined, it has kept me away from hospitals, M.D.s and 100% prescription drugs-free for all those many years. I know by my experience, that if people could take serious care of their health via a 100% nature-based, organic/GMOs/sugar/gluten-free nutritional regimen, they could stop being slaves to Doctors and prescription drugs, stop being pathetic and be as healthy and happy as I am.So as part of my carefully chosen gut dietary daily regimen, I take Inulin to help my friendly bacteria stay healthy and multiply constantly. I take this kind -chicory root inulin - simply because it's the best kind of inulin for the friendly bacteria. So yes, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND JETSU Chicory Root Inulin as the best I have found so far. Now my best wishes to all who may read this post.

My mother is 86, and has a SENSITIVE STOMACH. I did all my research and homework. For constipation she needed something and cannot take OTC items like Metamucil and Benefiber both these have either psyllium husk / Wheat.. very harsh. This item is PURE ORGANIC INULIN POWDER, nothing else added. It is wonderful if you like purity and simplicity.. besides Promotes Prebiotic bacteria growth, with many benefits and helps with constipation. I am glad to say this worked for my mother and did not bother her stomach. It is unflavored, you can put with coconut milk , or on food and unflavored. Also it is GENTLE, I recommend to give this a try, I really am being honest on this. I am my mother's caregiver and want only the best for my mother. You will love this...!!! :) Truly and honestly, speaking...

It works like magic. The scoop is easy to use. Usually use a healing scoop.I now have no digestive issues. I now have more energy, improved and morecomplete elimination. Also no more bloating or over full feeling. Great improvement.ke

If you can thoroughly mix the powder into whatever you add it to, it works very well. If you don't get it mixed well, you are left with chewy clumps of the powder, which isn't horrible as long as you realize that is what you have in your mouth, and don't freak out about the texture. It says "unflavored", but it does have a slight sweetness to it. It is a very fine powder and 5 grams is actually quite a bit (about a full teaspoon), so I am not sure how "sprinkling it on your food" would work. I have mixed it in protein shakes and cottage cheese with success. I tried mixing it in mayo to have with my chicken tenders, and that did not work! I doesn't actually dissolve, if you think that is what "soluble" means.

This powder dissolves in cold water with a bit of stirring. Once in a while, I get a small clump that dissolves with a 'crush' of a spoon. Have been using this product daily ( 2 scoops = 10 grams) along with a probiotic. The package is a nice thick bag with a tight-sealing zip lock that I keep in the fridge. The zip lock seal is really good and no moisture is getting into the bag, keeping the product in it's powder state. This is a bit pricey, but the digestive health results I am getting are very good, so I will reordering.

You can take this prebiotic with food or not, but because I fast from food until afternoon, (I feel the very low calories and low glycemic index of this product have a negligible effect on my fast) and because I like to feed my good gut bacteria before I put any other food in my mouth, I take this first thing in the morning. I’ll add a scoop to cold matcha, (or another type of green tea or water) in my water bottle. It’s nearly tasteless, (not unpleasant at all) and although it clumps a bit, with a good shaking it mixes fairly easily. Most days I open a probiotic capsule, (for a boost of good bacterial strains) and add it to my drink. Vigorously using a matcha, bamboo whisk, with a small amount of water, or the hot or cold drink you were going to add it to would work well, also. I started slow, just a 1/4 of a teaspoon on the 1st day and only got a mildly gassy reaction, which told me I really hadn’t been supplying my good gut bacteria with enough of their food. Each day I continued to increase the amount until I worked up to a full scoop, with no more gas. It didn’t take long but everyone’s body is different. This is an organic source of the gentle soluable fiber everyone needs for good bowel habits and healthy digestion. Supplementing with insoluable fibers, (like psyllium or bran) are harse and can literally shred the lining of your intestines! Inulin keeps you feeling full and can help with appetite and weight management. Without changing eating habits I have lost a little weight each day I have taken this. A win, win, win!
